Thank you Mr. Chair.
I want to return to the question of fatigue, Mr. Grégoire, because it is just too important.
The 2001 report recommended that you take action on this issue. I return to Mr. Eley's statement about the fatigue study: “The decision was made at that time not to move forward on the conclusion of those studies.”
You told us earlier that over the past decade you have communicated a lot with people in the industry and your own inspectors. You have been working, but in the past 10 years there still have been 12 fatigue-related accidents that caused 28 deaths. You are saying that the Transportation Safety Bureau has never made a recommendation. You also told us that in the Sept-Îles case, the pilot admitted he had been working for 18 consecutive hours.
In the past 10 years, have you never heard talk about the fact that there is an active system in this industry to falsify logbooks in order to conform to the rules? You have seen what is happening. Many pilots have told us that they falsified their logbooks. Are you trying to tell me that you have never heard of scheduling problems or tampering with logbooks in this industry?
